Coloured bath resurfacing in Sandiacre, done in place
A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite, on coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

What we do, step by step
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes one to two days for a full suite, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Each item is left to cure, normally ready the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Ensure the area is dry
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.
